In search algorithm, a good move ordering is rewarded by the reduction in tree sizes and faster searches. An example of a good chess move ordering is:

  • checking moves, direct and discovered,
  • promotions,
  • capturing moves, ordered by most valuable victim / least valuable aggressor (MVV/LVA),
  • non-capturing moves ordered according to history heuristic.

MVV/LVA (Most Valuable Victim / Least Valuable Attacker) move generator. The general idea is to first generate capture moves with the most valuable capture piece and least valuable attacker piece (e.g. pawn captures queen).
